Did you know they make maternity thongs? I did not know this. But now I do, thanks to Kim Kardashian's see-through maternity dress. Oopsie! Now that I mention it, it's news to me that they make see-through maternity dresses, as well. Gwyneth Paltrow, we'll see your side-ass and raise you two pregnant butt cheeks.

Too much? Sorry, it's just been that kind of day. I guess we've all got side-boob fatigue and have moved on to glutes. But back to our story: Kim stepped out with Kanye in this adorable LBD that was almost perfect, except for the sheer panels that happened to reveal her thong-clad bottom. At the risk of tempting eyes to roll, I just have to ask -- did she do it on purpose?

(Come to think of it, maybe a thong doesn't need to be maternity. It's just a tiny bit of elastic.)

Now I am not going to be boring and say this is shockingly improper for a pregnant lady. I kind of feel like we're all past that now, don't you? Once Demi Moore posed pregnantly nude on the cover of Vanity Fair, it was anything goes from that point on. Hell, once summer hits, we're all just lucky pregnant women wear any clothes at all!

But back to my question -- did she know her dress would be so revealing? And if you do willingly wear a bum-revealing dress, which is preferred: Briefs of thongs? If you ask Kanye, clearly the answer is thong. A friend of mine once wore a black maxi-dress, which I'm sure she thought was opaque, but it was not. And she, too, was wearing a thong, as everyone at the playground noticed. (THE PLAYGROUND.)

Anyway. Now you know. Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you have to keep your light under a bushel. Shine, shine away!
